Carbon Emissions Must be Cut ‘Significantly’ by 2020, Says UN Report

by Myrna Posted on November 5, 2013

Failure will mean greater costs and risks and pathway to limiting temperature rise to under 2C will close fast. Djof/Flickr The chances of keeping the global temperature increase below 2C will “swiftly diminish” unless the world takes immediate action to escalate cuts in carbon emissions, the United Nations has warned. The UN Environment Program said that even if nations meet their current emissions reduction pledges, carbon emissions in 2020 will be eight to 12 gigatonnes above the level required to avoid a costly nosedive in greenhouse gas output. The Emissions Gap Report 2013, which was compiled by 44 scientific groups in 17 countries, warns that if the greenhouse “gap” isn’t “closed or significantly narrowed” by 2020, the pathway to limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5C will be closed.

Polar Bear Attacks: Scientists Warn of Fresh Dangers in Warming Arctic

by Myrna Posted on November 4, 2013

Two people injured in latest attack as hungry bears deprived of access to sea ice increasingly look for food on land. Martin Lopatka/Flickr A polar bear attack in Canada that left two people injured has brought new warnings from scientists of a dangerous rise in human-bear encounters in a warming Arctic. The friends had just walked out of the door in the pre-dawn hours after a party when the young polar bear crept up behind them, unheard and unseen. By the time, the bear was driven off by neighbours wielding a shovel, banging pots and pans, and firing multiple rounds from a shotgun, two people were badly mauled: the young woman who was the original target of the attack and an older male neighbour who tried to come to her rescue.
